Dalí: A Double Meaning
These ‘Swan’ earrings and ring were designed by 20th century Surrealist, Salvador Dali, and created by New York jewelers Eric Ertman and Carlos Alemany, who worked out of a workshop in the St. Regis Hotel. These jewels, like most of his work, relate to Dali’s exploration of the conscious and unconscious dream-like states, which are expressed through fantastic and exaggerated forms.
A similar example of this set is in the permanent collection at the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. It is interesting to note that while the Museum has titled these as ‘Swan’, is it not possible that they represent an angel too? A complex and double meaning unite swan and angel, representing metamorphosis and personal victory. This question speaks to the language of Dali and his creations.
